    How was your appointment with Dr. Liu?

    Mar 16, 2023
    I was misdiagnosed for 3+ years with everything from CVS to diverticulitis to smoking pot. I had uncontrollable vomiting aminf other symptoms. Several MRI's later I found Dr Liu. He saw my pituitary tumor growing to about 2.2cm, about 3x the size of the pituitary gland. He did surgery within 2 weeks and it was a great success. The entire tumor was gone and reconstruction went well. He gave me my life back! Thank you Dr Liu!
